Sounds like one of those plants that sorta takes over anything in it's path

Seriously, cool story and I'm sure fun memories for you. I went through a time of houseplants too but only have two now and they live on the porch in the summer and in the basement under lights with my tender perennials in the winter.

Sharon...I had one years ago when I lived "in Yankee Land" and loved it. I recently found one at Lowes I *think* or perhaps Home Depot. Needless to say it just had to jump in my jeep and is now quite happy in the screen room. Hopefully it will also like my dungeon...oops...house this winter.

Our happy house plant is an angel wings begonia. It was given to me by a lady who helped out when oldest daughter was born. Daughter is now 50. We keep making cuttings when the plant gets too lopsided. Did I mention that we don't have a good place for houseplants?
